The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.
~~~~~~~
The emancipation of today displays itself mainly in cigarettes and shorts. There is even a reaction from the ideal of an intellectual and emancipated womanhood, for which the pioneers toiled and suffered, to be seen in painted lips and nails, and the return of trailing skirts and other absurdities of dress which betoken the slave-woman’s intelligent companionship.
~~~~~~~
The emancipation of women is practically the greatest egoistic movement of the nineteenth century, and the most intense affirmation of the right of the self that history has yet seen.
~~~~~~~
The embattled gates to equal rights indeed opened up for modern women, but I sometimes think to myself: That is not what I meant by freedom — it is only social progress.
~~~~~~~
The feminist anti-pornography movement, no less than the feminist movement of a century ago, encourages the assumption that male and female sexuality, and possibly morality, are as unlike as yin and yang.
~~~~~~~
The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact.
~~~~~~~
The fundamental impulse of the movement is neither masturbatory nor concretely lesbian — although it of course offers warm house to both these possibilities; it is an impulse to maidenhood — to that condition in which a woman might pretend to a false fear or loathing of the penis in order to escape from any responsibility for the pleasure and well-being of the man who possesses it.
~~~~~~~
The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
~~~~~~~
The modern woman is the curse of the universe. A disaster, that’s what. She thinks that before her arrival on the scene no woman ever did anything worthwhile before, no woman was ever liberated until her time, no woman really ever amounted to anything.
~~~~~~~
The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of Woman’s Rights with all its attendant horrors on which her poor, feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feeling and propriety.
~~~~~~~
The suffering of either sex — of the male who is unable, because of the way in which he was reared, to take the strong initiating or patriarchal role that is still demanded of him, or of the female who has been given too much freedom of movement as a child to stay placidly within the house as an adult — this suffering, this discrepancy, this sense of failure in an enjoined role, is the point of leverage for social change.
~~~~~~~
The true Republic: men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.
~~~~~~~
The vote means nothing to women. We should be armed.
~~~~~~~
There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood what women want and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
~~~~~~~
There must be a world revolution which puts an end to all materialistic conditions hindering woman from performing her natural role in life and driving her to carry out man’s duties in order to be equal in rights.
~~~~~~~
Thou art blind to the danger of marrying a woman who feels and acts out the principle of equal rights.
~~~~~~~
To me, a feminist belongs in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights; I don”t see why someone who”s a feminist should be thought of differently
~~~~~~~
We need a new kind of feminism, one that stresses personal responsibility and is open to art and sex in all their dark, unconsoling mysteries. The feminist of the fin de sicle will be bawdy, streetwise, and on-the-spot confrontational, in the prankish Sixties way.
~~~~~~~
When an individual is kept in a situation of inferiority, the fact is that he does become inferior.
~~~~~~~
Whether we regard the Women’s Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.
